Particle Coating Reactor with Sieve Deagglomeration

The patent applies periodic action by alternating between coating cycles and deagglomeration steps. During coating, particles are exposed to gas phase materials to form coating layers. Between coating cycles, ultrasonic vibration is applied to deagglomerate particles that have clumped together, ensuring they are properly separated before the next coating cycle. This periodic alternation between coating and deagglomeration prevents permanent aggregation and ensures complete, uniform coating coverage.

The patent employs mechanical vibration through ultrasonic vibration to deagglomerate particles. The ultrasonic vibration applies high-frequency mechanical energy to the particle bed, breaking apart aggregates formed during coating cycles. This mechanical vibration ensures particles remain separated and properly exposed to gas phase coating materials, preventing incomplete coating and pinhole formation.

The patent maintains processing simplicity while achieving coating uniformity through periodic action. The process alternates between coating cycles and automated ultrasonic deagglomeration steps, both of which are easily implemented within the same reactor system. This periodic approach prevents particle aggregation during coating without requiring complex external handling or manual intervention, thus maintaining ease of manufacture while ensuring uniform coating coverage and consistent particle size distribution.

The patent applies self-service by incorporating the deagglomeration function directly into the coating reactor system. The ultrasonic vibration source is integrated into the reactor, allowing the system to automatically deagglomerate particles during the coating process without requiring external equipment or manual handling. This self-service approach simplifies the overall manufacturing process while ensuring consistent coating uniformity through automated particle management.

The patent eliminates manual handling by implementing a self-service deagglomeration system using ultrasonic vibration integrated into the reactor. The ultrasonic source automatically deagglomerates particles during the coating process through high-frequency mechanical vibration, achieving particle separation without any manual intervention. This automated approach reduces processing time by eliminating manual handling steps and improves reproducibility by providing consistent, controllable deagglomeration throughout the coating process.

The patent replaces manual mechanical handling with an automated ultrasonic vibration system. Instead of using manual techniques to separate aggregates, the system employs ultrasonic waves to generate mechanical vibration that automatically deagglomerates particles. This substitution of manual mechanical operations with an automated physical field-based system reduces processing time and enhances reproducibility through precise control of vibration parameters.

The patent achieves both fast processing and high coating quality through periodic action. The process rapidly alternates between coating cycles and brief ultrasonic deagglomeration steps, both performed automatically within the same reactor. This periodic approach ensures particles are quickly deagglomerated between coating cycles, preventing pinhole formation and exposed cores, while maintaining high processing speed through automated operation without manual intervention.

The patent uses mechanical vibration from ultrasonic sources to rapidly deagglomerate particles between coating cycles. This quick mechanical vibration action prevents particle aggregation during the coating process, ensuring complete and uniform coating coverage without pinholes or exposed cores. The rapid nature of ultrasonic vibration maintains processing speed while significantly improving coating quality through effective particle separation.
